Brent Rooker goes deep in blowout win Tuesday
by Brenton Kemp | Athletics Correspondent | Wed, Jul 9th 2:05pm EDT
A's designated hitter Brent Rooker hit his 19th home run of the season, a two-run shot, as part of a 10-1 rout of the visiting Braves on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Rooker, Lawrence Butler, and Max Muncy all went deep in the first off of 20-year-old Didier Fuentes before Nick Kurtz added a grand slam in the second frame as the A's got after it early and often on Tuesday. Rooker continues to be one of baseball's most underrated bats as he will threaten the 40-homer mark again this season after coming up just shy with 39 a season ago.
